After weaving a walking path through campus Sarah and Dan noticed water infrastructure hidden in plain sight that deserved a deeper look in our final Monash episode. We talk to campus Water Manager, Carlo Lacson, to consider flow (charts), (recycling) loops and (underground) lines of the campus water systems that help us make connections between the natural landscape and urban management. You can read more about how Carlo and his team work with water at Monash University’s Clayton Campus here www.programmed.com.au/water-sustainability-at-monash-university 

The flow of storm water, recycled and potable water includes kilometeres of underground pipes and thousand gigalitre tanks, but also natural systems such as the lake beside the Aboriginal Garden and Jock Marshal Reserve - two quiet places amongst a busy campus that blend cultural and scientific knowledges.
